Yeah good idea. When you make the poll put a pic of all 8 teams, but just call them team 1, team 2 etc so people who haven't been watching the draft wont be biased when selecting the best

Alright CF ill grab him

Gareth Bale is set to be a superstar only at the age of 21 (i think) and is already ripping up in the epl and UEFA champs. league scoring a hatrick the other week against Inter he will truely be a star (more of a star than he already is) and become one of the best Welsh player to play the game.

There goes the end of my draft :) though now i have two LW it dont really matter ill just play Iniesta on the right :)

For the final pick in this whole draft I am going for an extremely solid CB from Ghana. Yes you read correctly, I did say Ghana. This guy was a rock at the back, he goes by the name Samuel Kuffour.



Some of you youngster may be saying "who?" right about now, so let me explain. Best remembered for his time at Bayern Munich, where he spent 11 years. His peak of his playing days was between 1998 and 2002. He is the most decorated African player in history. Some of his individual achievements are African Footballer of the year runner up twice (99, 01), BBC African Footballer of the year 2001, Ghana footballer of the year three times (98, 99, 01), Ghana Athlete of the year 2001, FIFA all star defender, named in the top 30 African players of all time. He was also nominated for the Ballon d'Or in 2001, which for a defender is a marvellous achievement. This guy is an absolute steal with the last pick in this draft.

The round up for my team



In my opinion this is one of the strongest teams picked. A very solid back line, with a strong midfield and an awesome attack. Here is how I break it down:
Defense - 2 great fullbacks in Zanetti and Alves, who are both easily capable of defending and attacking. Then the centre backs consist of one ball playing defender in Ayala and one stopper in Kuffour. That's the best combination and used by most teams, such as United with Ferdinand and Vidic. My goal keeper speaks for himself.
Midfield - In Davids you have one of the best holding midfielders not only of his generation, but ever. Capable of breaking up any opponent attack. Then you have Pirlo who is one of the greatest deep lying playmakers ever, as most other playmakers play further up the field, he can easily dictate the tempo of the match. Giggs and Ljungberg are both amazing wingers, and unlike the modern day wingers such as Ronaldo they can track back to defend and then break away to support the attack in a moments notice.
Forwards - Totti is one of the greatest Italian players and second strikers of all time, can drop deep to help out the midfield or push forward and score goals himself. In Van Nistelrooy you have arguably the best goal poacher ever. He has scored goals wherever he has gone and over his entire club career he averages a goal every 1 and a half games.
